Hi Peter
You could change it to
params[:t] ||= [1,2]
Which is slightly cleaner. Looks like I misunderstood the issue the
first time around. The best approach is perhaps to build your
conditions hash, perhaps as follows:
conditions = {:author_country => params[:c]}
conditions[:type] = params[:t] if params[:t]
Book.search params[:q], conditions, :with => {:tag_ids =>
params[:g]}, :page => params[:page]
You should be able to shift the field weights into your define_index
block too, if you want them to *always* apply.
set_property :field_weights => {
"book_name" => 20,
"author_name" => 15,
"book_desc" => 15,
"author_bio" => 10
}
Hope this helps.
Cheers
